The NeXT Generation is the name given to a series of multimedia products created by T-Games in the multiplayer area of the video game LittleBigPlanet 2.

The two original NeXT consoles (NeXT and NeXT MP3, as the NeXT Audio was called at the time) were first introduced approximately 2 weeks before the premiere in late August of 2012. The NeXT Generation was designed by T-Games as 2 consoles only; however as a period of time passed, other products in the series would be introduced and other features would be added-on within updates.

The NeXT Generation was originally planned to launch on Saturday the 11th of August 2012; however, T-Games soon postponed the launch to Tuesday the 14th of August 2012 - due to technical difficulties with the console. Further delays, caused by T-Games adding late additions to the console, meant that the launch of The NeXT Generation was then postponed to Wednesday the 22nd of August 2012. However, due to the development team finalizing the launch console earlier than expected, the T-Games NeXT Generation was finally released on Tuesday the 21st of August 2012 - 10 days after originally intended.

The NeXT Generation has created many Limited Editions Skins and re-furbished the level hub for special occasions. Some examples of celebrations are:

Halloween 2012 - 3 Limited Edition NeXT Skins were released for 1 week

Christmas 2013 - 3 Limited Edition NeXT Skins were released for the 12 days of Christmas

Evergreen Park - A Limited Edition NeXT Skin was released to celebrate the release of Evergreen Park. Users had to find a token in Evergreen Park to be able to unlock the item. It was available for 3 Weeks

Tremors - The NeXT Hub was themed to look like it was taking place during the events of Tremors in The T-Games Adventure Series as a promotional act.

Halloween 2013 - 3 Limited Edition NeXT Skins were released for 1 week.

The NeXT and NeXT Audio were originally planned to be released on the 11th of August 2013, 10 days before the actual release.

The NeXT was originally intended to be an addition to the GameExpo line.

The name NeXT was given to the console line as a tribute to Steve Jobs, who created a company called NeXT Computer, Inc and passed away 10 months before the NeXT was released.

The NeXT Generation was originally going to replace GameExpo Line, however the community were not fond of the idea.

NeXT updates v1.3 - v1.6 were originally going to be put together to create a NeXT II - however GameEx believed it to be too soon to create a new console, splitting the updates up.

Some NeXT models are not in possession of the T-Games Archives. This is because GameEx commonly used to delete, wipe and remove anything outdated if the line was still active, to save space within the developers popit. Most of the currently archived models are re-skined limited edition skins that were given away, or are models that were sent in by the community.
